Opinion of the Court

Bleckley, Judge.

The case is weak, but it is better that the chancellor should control it. Insolvency is denied, and the answer offers.to yield the disputed question of boundary. There is not much to dispute about, but perhaps equity can do more complete *148justice than could be done at law. As the chancellor wants to apply equitable principles rather than the ordinary rules of law let him have his way.

Cited in the argument: 21 Ga., 208, (5).

Judgment affirmed.
